“Then Trickster?  Or Genesis?”  Brian asked.

“I would rather stay close to Noelle,” Trickster said.  “If Genesis is willing, that would be fine.”

Let’s get to know her a bit!

“And that leaves Ballistic, Sundancer, Trickster, Noelle, Regent and Tattletale for the second group.  We stay together, we keep an eye on our territories to watch for trouble from Hookwolf’s contingent, and we keep an eye out for opportunity.

Sounds good!

Tattletale?  You’re good watching the downtown areas?”

Lisa nodded.

“And Skitter has the sensory abilities to check areas of the Docks where the Undersiders have territory.”

I mean, she does have to move around a bit to make that work, but that should be fine.

“I’ll need to visit each area in turn.  Unless we have some people to pass on messages, and a means of communication.”

That would certainly be good to have in any case.

Maybe Genesis’ power would be useful for that?

“I arranged a delivery,” Coil said.  “You’ll each be provided with a satellite phone before you leave, with mobile phones to use when the towers are in operation again.  It won’t be immediate, but I have shipments of new generators, appliances, laptops and other necessities on the way.

Of course, there’s nothing stopping Shatterbird from using those phones against them if she finds out about them. Unless they have plastic screens, I guess.

With the information Hookwolf has provided us about Shatterbird’s power, I think we could shield the most necessary pieces of equipment with soundproofing in case of a repeat incident.”

Ooh, good call.
